Hyderabad Petrol Pumps to Suspend Sale of Normal Petrol, Switches to Premium

Panic buying and supply constraints have led several fuel outlets in Secunderabad and Hyderabad to suspend the sale of regular petrol and switch to premium variants, citing depletion of normal stock. 

At multiple stations, attendants informed customers that only premium petrol was available, as regular fuel had run out. 

The price difference between the two stands at Rs 10 per litre, with normal petrol priced at Rs 107 and premium at Rs



117.

Station operators described the situation as unusual. “Generally, we don’t run out of stock. But the panic buying has pushed the stocks to hit rock bottom. This is unprecedented in my career of about two decades. 

Scores of worried customers have approached here to enquire about the possibility of petrol running out due to the evolving situation in West Asia,” said Md Irshad, the manager of Bharat Petrol Pump at Sangeet Junction in Secunderabad.
